BXBX NOVEL Chapter 186: 185: Eldest Senior Sister's Plan_1
“Certainly.”
“Vice Sect Leaders Liu and Gao only know about backup bases number three and four. The Eternity Sect will surely relocate to backup base five, whose location is currently unknown.”
“So, the three of you need to deceive Tang Yunsheng. Earn his trust using the reason I provided. He will lead you to the former base. The Eternity Sect must have left their people there in hurry, to guide those who didn’t receive the news to the new backup base.”
“Your arrival with Tang Yunsheng will definitely attract the attention of the Eternity Sect. They will be suspicious of you and likely assume you have been captured by the Seek Dao Sect and are now working against them.”
“But Tang Yunsheng is different. They know that he has always been lurking outside the Seek Dao Sect and will not be captured by it. He is trustworthy. If he leads you to the former base, the Eternity Sect will accept you, telling you the real location of the base.”
“The final objective of the plan is to gain the trust of the Eternity Sect.
Fairy Eternity, listening on the side, kept nodding her head in agreement. She thought the idea was good.
Tang Yunsheng, hidden near the Seek Dao Sect’s agreed meeting spot, anxiously awaited news from the Vice Sect Leader.
He watched as the Seek Dao Sect saw off the Five Elements Sect, but still saw no sign of the Vice Sect Leader. He was secretly dismayed.
“It’s over, Vice Sect Leaders Liu and Gao have definitely been caught by the damned Seek Dao Sect!”
Tang Yunsheng waited a complete day before seeing the three people, including
Lu Yang, fleeing in panic.
“Why is it only you three? Where are Vice Sect Leaders Liu and Gao? Tang Yunsheng shook Lu Yang’s shoulder.
Lu Yang’s eyes were lost. When he heard Tang Yunsheng’s question, his eyes welled up, his lips trembled, and he burst into tears.
“Vice Sect Leader Liu… they failed! When Vice Sect Leader Liu produced the Immortal Treasures, intending to use his special powers, we didn’t expect that there would be hidden masters in the Seek Dao Sect who could resist the power of the treasures. They fought Vice Sect Leader Liu!”
Meng Jingzhou, thinking of the horrible scene, also burst into tears: “Vice Sect Leader Liu and the others didn’t surrender. They were killed by the damnable Seek Dao Sect!”
Man Gu was just crying, barely able to speak—he forgot his lines.
The three of them cried uncontrollably, clearly moved by real emotion.
“What!” Tang Yunsheng sat down on the ground, his face incredulous.
Both Vice Sect Leaders and five high-ranking officials fell at the Seek Dao Sect, how would he explain this upon his return?!
“Wait, why are the three of you okay?” Tang Yunsheng noticed an issue. The Vice Sect Leaders and the high-ranking officials had entered the Seek Dao Sect through their barbecue shop. The Sect would surely suspect them.
Lu Yang managed to calm down: “Vice Sect Leader Liu left an imprint in our minds, disguising us as puppets controlled by the Vice Sect Leader’s powerful spiritual power. That’s why the Seek Dao Sect let us go.”
“Then you three should continue to hide in the Seek Dao Sect.”
These are three valuable moles.
Lu Yang shook his head. “We have such a history, even if it’s not our fault, people wouldn’t accept us. Our business has hit rock bottom and there are pointing fingers everywhere. The Seek Dao Sect is no longer a place for us. Tang Yunsheng patted Lu Yang’s shoulder: “You three have had it hard.” Lu Yang’s emotions were real, a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes as he continued: “Sacrificing for the Eternity Sect is nothing. But I can’t let traitors go unpunished!”
“Traitors?”
Meng Jingzhou nodded forcefully, with a look of hatred and ferocity in his eyes: “How could they have failed with such a perfect plan and us conspiring from within the Seek Dao Sect? There must have been a traitor!”
“just before Vice Sect Leader Liu fell, he secretly transmitted the identity of the traitor to us. He asked us to make it back to the Eternity Sect safely and expose the traitor!”
Tang Yunsheng’s face turned grave: “Who is the traitor?”
This was no trivial matter. The assault on the Seek Dao Sect was a secret operation. Only a few people within the Sect knew about it, all of whom held high ranks and power. Any suspicion could lead to big problems!
Lu Yang revealed the identity of the traitor: “The third Vice Sect Leader, Vice Leader Jin!”
“It was him!” Tang Yunsheng’s voice rose several degrees. He thought about it and found it made sense.
With only three Vice Sect Leaders and two gone, the position of Master would eventually fall to the last man standing.
Everything made perfect sense.
“Let’s go. We must immediately report this matter to the Master!” Tang Yunsheng realized the severity of the issue. There was no time to lose, they had to set off immediately.
Now, these three individuals weren’t moles anymore, but witnesses.
Tang Yunsheng led the trio onto a flying boat, heading south. They disembarked at a large metropolitan city and continued to a wilderness about three hundred miles from the city.
“Inspector Tang, is the headquarters here?” Lu Yang looked around for something resembling a Relic Blessed Cave. Was the former base located here?
A cruel smirk appeared on Tang Yunsheng’s face: “You three ignorant fools, still wanting to go to the headquarters? Maybe before we get there we’ve already been assassinated by people sent by Vice Leader Jin!”
“Who can assure that this isn’t the Master’s intention? Maybe the Master, for the sake of the stability of the Eternity Sect, pinches his nose and admits to Vice Leader Jin’s plan, and have us taken out.”
“If we went to the headquarters, our fates would be uncertain and we d be falling right into the trap!”
“I don’t want to mix up in this high-rank struggle. Whoever gets involved is doomed to die.”
“Now the safest thing is to kill you three little bastards and escape to a deserted place!”
Tang Yunsheng was very rational. Expose the mole? What does it have to do with him? As a demon cultivator, saving his own life is always the priority!
He could find a desolate place, kill the three of them and dispose of their bodies. Then he would not be connected to the Eternity Sect anymore!
He was at the Nascent Soul stage, killing these three Foundation Establishment Stage brats would be a piece of cake!
Lu Yang: “…”
Meng Jingzhou: “…”
ManGu:
This deviated quite a bit from the Eldest Senior Sister’s plan. There was a problem at the second step.
Indeed, they had gained Tang Yunsheng’s trust, but this didn’t mean he was willing to take them to the Eternity Sect.
“What should we do, Eldest Senior Sister?” Lu Yang asked, via the spiritual space, was there a higher strategy?
Yun Zhi looked as aloof as ever. However, faced with Lu Yang’s inquiry, her gaze fluctuated slightly before resting back on him. She spoke calmly.
“It doesn’t matter, everything is going according to plan.”
The change in the Eldest Senior Sister’s gaze was small, but Lu Yang, who had lived with her for a long time, was sensitive to such changes.
This was an obvious sign of uneasiness.
Lu Yang suddenly remembered some past events. For instance, when he was initially body refining, Eldest Senior Sister would bathe him with boiling water. Also, how she always made him practice with tofu, and how she regarded the requirements of the Laurel Fairy Palace as a marriage proposal.
Eldest Senior Sister is out of touch with worldly affairs.
She seems to have everything under control, acting composed and flawless. This illusion is solely because her facial expression remains the same from start to finish.
